Liang Shi died after staying up all night checking data.
After death, she transmigrated into the game she had yet to release, becoming an NPC blacksmith in the starter village, complete with an NPC interface.
Having no desire to work herself to death again, Liang Shi just wanted to sleep, eat, and drink in peace, and live in a house where the wind and rain couldn't get in, without monsters bothering her.
Ideally, her activities would be limited to the two points between the smithy and the tavern.
For that, she was willing to put in some effort ahead of time.
Clear out the monsters nearby, gather materials, build a house, and make bedding, tableware, and barware!
Once everything was ready, Liang Shi finally got to live the comfortable, peaceful life she'd always wanted.
Then the game launched.
On launch day, the players blew up Liang Shi's house.
Liang Shi: ...
-
The full-dive game Ancient Horizons, whose slogan was "Anything is possible" and "Players change the world," took the internet by storm as soon as it came out.
That's because players could improve their mental strength and enhance their martial skills in the game.
And if they met certain requirements, they could even extract items from the game.
When the public beta opened, players flooded into the game.
The first thing they did was head straight for the smithy to claim weapons.
Then, in a moment of "excitement," they blew up the entire smithy.
The smithy NPC, Liang Shi, gave them a -100 in favorability.
At first, looking at the frail Liang Shi, the players couldn't imagine she could forge metal. They regarded her as nothing more than a functional NPC who sold weapons and didn't care about her favorability ratings with her.
But there were plenty of oddballs among the players, and the shortage of weapons kept getting worse.
The issue even led to a commotion outside the smithy.
Woken up by the noise, Liang Shi got out of bed in a fury, pulled out her giant hammer, and brought it down hard.
The iron pillar on the ground turned into a sharp blade.
The players were so shocked their jaws hit the floor.
From then on, players came in an endless stream, bringing fine wine, good food, and top-grade materials, all hoping to raise Liang Shi's favorability and get her to hammer something for them. They just couldn't stay away.
[Note]
1. A lie-flat, food-loving heroine x a taciturn, generous male lead who spoils her (the male lead isn't literally her caretaker; he just keeps feeding her).
2. This should be a typical daily-life story about players who bring disaster to another world.
3. The heroine is the strongest from the start.
4. The setting is entirely fictional, with plenty of author-created details. Everything serves the plot, so please don't nitpick.
5. I don't read comments while the story is being serialized. If anything seems off, it's because the author's logic got eaten by a dog. orz
